More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman — a rope over an abyss.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Women are constituted in such a way that all truth (regarding men, love, children, society, the purpose of life) disgusts them, and in such a way that they try to revenge themselves on anyone who opens their eyes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The unselective knowledge drive resembles the indiscriminate sexual drive--signs of vulgarity!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
But let me open up my heart to you completely, my friends: if there were gods, how could I bear not being a god! Hence, there areno gods. I drew this conclusion, to be sure--but now it draws me.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
The lie is a condition of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
The anarchist and the Christian have a common origin.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Freedom of opinion is like health both are individual, and no good general conception can be set up of either of them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In a man devoted to knowledge, pity seems almost ridiculous, like delicate hands on a cyclops.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not to everyone's taste that truth should be pronounced pleasant. But at least let no one believe that error becomes truth when it is pronounced unpleasant.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is a terrible thought, to contemplate that an immense number of mediocre thinkers are occupied with really influential matters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Supposing truth is a woman -- what then?
Friedrich Nietzsche
For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 153
Friedrich Nietzsche
Faith means the will to avoid knowing what is true.
Friedrich Nietzsche
